Students Present Research at CVMBS Research Day on Jan. 28

The College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences invites you to attend the 13th Annual CVMBS Research Day on Jan. 28, and explore the world of research through the eyes and experiences of students, residents, fellows, and interns.

The symposium will begin at noon, with a keynote address by Dr. Shane Hentges, the winner of the Pfizer Research Award and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Hentges’ research focuses on the complex physiological regulation of energy balance. Following Dr. Hentges’ talk, attendees can enjoy poster and oral presentations in basic and clinical sciences by graduate students, veterinary students, veterinary residents, postdoctoral fellows and interns.

The day will end with an awards ceremony at 5:30 p.m. The Golden Pipetter also will be presented during the ceremony, awarded to the department with the greatest participation in the symposium.

The College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences is consistently ranked first nationally in extramural research funding among colleges of veterinary medicine. The College developed the annual research day to showcase the excellence in student research that contributes to this success. In addition to highlighting cutting edge research and innovative research approaches, the symposium provides an opportunity for local researchers and scientists to connect, enhancing collaborations and communication between basic and clinical researchers alike.

All members of the CVMBS community are encouraged to attend this free event.
